THE Scotsman Publications photographer, Phil Wilkinson, goes freelance today (Jane Barlow did so yesterday), making him the last of the staff snappers at the group’s titles to switch status as part of a company-wide initiative to have pics provided mostly by freelancers.
But, as it happens, a couple of photographers on the Johnston Press weeklies roster have been named staff photographers for The Scotsman and its sister title, Scotland on Sunday: Lisa Ferguson will be based in Edinburgh and John Devlin in Glasgow.
